fail2ban-drupal

Fail2Ban filters for Drupal

Prerequisites

Drupal and Fail2ban should be installed and setup. Root access to your host.

Usage

1. Copy the .conf files into /etc/fail2ban/filter.d and add the content of drupal-jail.local to the end of your /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file.

2. Reload fail2ban by service fail2ban force-reload

Results

According to the pattern in the .conf files, IP addresses are getting blocked for a while. It results in less load on your Drupal host, and more secure Drupal installs. See particular result in your log file: tail -f /var/log/fail2ban.log
